Sideboard plans with Absolute Law
- White Weenie vs. Sligh, Goblins and RG Zoo. Against Sligh, in: Absolute Law, Circle of Protection: Red and the second Cursed Scroll; out: both Armageddon and a Tithe, keeping Disenchant and Seal of Cleansing for Seal of Fire, Cursed Scroll and Sulfuric Vortex. Against RG Zoo, in: Absolute Law, Circle of Protection: Red and both Reprisal; out: both Armageddon and two Tithe. Absolute Law gives every creature protection from red, so burn, Mogg Fanatic, Pyrokinesis and Simoon cannot touch your board, and Circle of Protection: Red prevents the damage a red source would deal to you, for {1} each time; Enlightened Tutor finds either. Anarchy, in about half their sideboards, destroys Absolute Law and every white creature at once.
- White Weenie vs. Stasis, Aluren and Turbo Lands. Against Turbo Lands bring Absolute Law instead of the Totem, for Seismic Assault.
- White Weenie vs. MUD. In: both Aura of Silence, both Reprisal and Absolute Law. Aura of Silence makes each of their artifacts cost two more and destroys Ensnaring Bridge, Winter Orb or Tangle Wire, Reprisal kills Masticore through its regeneration and Karn, Silver Golem, and Absolute Law stops the Pyroclasm almost every list brings after boarding.
- White Weenie vs. Reanimator and Full English Breakfast. Against Full English Breakfast, in: both Tormod's Crypt, Cursed Totem and Absolute Law; out: Glorious Anthem, Cursed Scroll and two Tithe. Cursed Totem stops Hermit Druid, Volrath's Shapeshifter, Birds of Paradise and Wall of Roots, though not Survival of the Fittest, and Absolute Law stops their sideboard Pyroclasm.
- White Weenie vs. Terrageddon, UG Madness and Stiflenought. Against Terrageddon also bring Absolute Law for Cursed Scroll: it stops the Pyroclasm in almost every sideboard.
- White Weenie vs. Landstill, Tron, BW Control, Dromar Control and The Solution. Against The Solution also bring Absolute Law and Circle of Protection: Red; out: Worship, Glorious Anthem and two Tithe.
- White Weenie vs. Psychatog and Gro-a-Tog. In: both Tormod's Crypt and the second Cursed Scroll, plus Winter Orb against Psychatog or Absolute Law against Gro-a-Tog. Tormod's Crypt exiles the graveyard Psychatog eats, and Absolute Law stops Fire // Ice and Pyroclasm.
- Rebels vs. Sligh, Goblins, The Solution and Gro-a-Tog. Circle of Protection: Red and Absolute Law are each in about half of the sideboards. Absolute Law gives every creature protection from red, so Lightning Bolt, the Fire half of Fire // Ice and Grim Lavamancer cannot target your Rebels and red creatures deal them no combat damage; Circle of Protection: Red keeps red damage off you.
